Windber Sportsmen’s Association 2017 Newsletter
2016 was a good year for the club. The Kid’s Rodeo, our biggest event, was a great success with a
record 294 Kid’s. We thank all those who donated their money or time to make the Kid’s Rodeo
possible. We did have some bad news later in the year when an infectious disease hit our hatchery.
Although it was quickly dealt with, we did lose some fish. The loss of fish will NOT affect the 2017
Kid’s Rodeo; however, there will be a slight decrease in stockings while we rebuild our numbers.
Stan & Carol Custer are retiring from their positions at the Club. We wish to thank them for their
many years of outstanding service. In turn we wish to welcome Dave (Cricket) & Cara Miller and
wish them the best of luck.
We encourage you to purchase the enclosed $1 raffle tickets. The proceeds help pay our expenses.
Tickets will be drawn at the Kid’s Rodeo. Additional tickets are available upon request.
In addition to our continued work at the dam and clubhouse we will be improving the shooting
range in 2017. We will also be offering NRA certified firearms safety classes and shooting classes.
